"Yes!"
The remaining six hundred or so Nine-tailed Fox Clan guards grunted in acknowledgment and began to move the corpses in low spirits.
Even the three thousand Tianshan Yeti experts volunteered to help. Seeing the fists and teeth marks on the corpses, the Tianshan Yeti experts were silent.
How could they not know that these people were killed by their demonic claws?
"Come in, I'll explain."
After saying that, Hu Lin walked toward a house that was still relatively intact.
Eggy and Li Mo followed, along with the Ninth Elder of the Tianshan Yeti race.
The house was pitch black. Hu Lin took out a bronze lamp from her storage pouch and placed it on the table, lighting up the room.
Then she sat.
She watched Li Mo, Eggy, and Tianshan Yeti race's 9th Elder.
Hu Lin said helplessly, "The Nine-tailed Fox Clan's Patriarch set down the rules that the clansmen who participate in the selection for the position of Young Master have to go through with it.
Not only must they be strong in cultivation, but also in intelligence. "
"Given Hu Guang's cultivation and intelligence, he's no match for big brother Hu Lin, right?"
Eggy asked with a puzzled frown.
Glancing at Eggy, Hu Lin helplessly shook her head.
"Let me tell you about the ancestor's rules."
Li Mo, Eggy, and the Tianshan Yeti race's 9th Elder leaned forward.
"The ancestor wants me and Hu Guang to each guard a city, each with a hundred guards.
The one who takes the other's city without losing their own is the winner.
"That's right.
"Hu Guang and I once had a competition. Hu Guang only cared about leading his men to attack.
I only sent a few dozen guards to feign defeat, baiting them in and trapping them in an array.
As for last time … "
"Was it the Gui race's fake Heavenly Court?"
Li Mo asked. Given Hu Guang's brawny nature, even if he had ten thousand chances, he wouldn't be able to beat Hu Lin.
After all, Hu Lin's cultivation and the quality of her guards far exceeded Hu Guang's.
Hu Lin gave Li Mo a deep look and nodded.
"I didn't know before, but now I can be sure that it's the Gui race's fake Heavenly Court.
In the past, Hu Guang and I would lead a team to occupy a city first. We would first send a few experts to watch over the city, then we would lead our men into battle.
At that time, Hu Guang did not go to his city at all.
He chose to give up his city and fight me to the death.
Even so, I am not afraid of him. Even if I do not have the time to set up the formation, as long as I let Hu Guang and the others into the city, I will not be afraid of him.
I can still annihilate them in melee combat!
But that night … "
As she spoke, Hu Lin's eyes were filled with sorrow as she recalled the events of that night.
"Fox Light's guards were the first to attack. At first, they were forced to retreat. They were not a match for us at all.
But then, thirty experts appeared out of thin air. They were all dressed in black.
Although I couldn't see through their cultivation and physical bodies, the clothes also had the effect of blocking divine sense.
But I can be sure that their combat strength is that of a genuine Earth Celestial Stage powerhouse! "
"I was besieged by more than ten powerhouses in the Earth Celestial Stage and was severely injured.
My guards … "
Hu Lin clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
"In that battle, I was knocked unconscious.
A total of a hundred guards were all killed!
And those mysterious people who helped Hu Guang left as quickly as they came!
That's why I couldn't find out who they were. "
"Why didn't you report it to your father and ancestor?" Eggy asked.
Hearing Eggy's words, Hu Lin shook her head helplessly.
"It's a big deal if I report it.
No matter how much my father dotes on us, the ancestor is still around.
Hu Guang was still punished to the point of peeling off a layer of skin. That's my blood brother! "
As she spoke, Hu Lin suddenly raised her head.
Her eyes were bloodshot as she looked at Eggy.
"My mother was weak and passed away after giving birth to Hu Guang.
Father has been busy ever since he was young, rarely seeing each other. Only Hu Guang and I were left at home.
Do you know how I feel about him?
How could I bear to see Hu Guang get punished?
It's because I know how tired father is for the nine-tailed fox race that I've been cultivating since I was young. I want to shoulder the nine-tailed fox race and not let my brother tire himself out … "
Li Mo could see Hu Lin's fists clenched.
Her fingertips dug into her flesh and blood flowed. But what was this compared to the pain in Hu Lin's heart?
She was determined to protect him when she was young, and now she was going to kill him just because she was strong?
"It's all because you let Hu Guang have his way."
Li Mo shook his head, rejecting Hu Lin's actions.
"I know you can't bear to kill Hu Guang, but you can't let him take the young master's seat!"
"I know. I will reclaim my position as the Young Lord.
I will cripple his cultivation and give him a hundred years to live. I will spend a hundred years with him … "
Hu Lin lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.
In the bloody battle, she watched her clansmen die one by one.
Hu Lin hated Hu Guang so much he wanted to kill him, but the battle was over.
Hu Lin found he couldn't bring himself to do it.
He could only settle for the next best thing, to cripple Hu Guang.
The strong of the Demonic God Clan lived longer than humans.
However, Hu Guang had used two to three hundred years to reach this level.
Crippling his cultivation would turn him into a cripple.
Based on his body's functions, he could only live for a hundred years.
Two streams of tears flowed from Hu Lin's eyes and fell on the ground.
No one knew the pain in Hu Lin's heart when he made this decision.
But Hu Lin lowered his head and bent his back.
He wouldn't let anyone see this cowardly side of him.
"Alright, once we're done with the Heavenly Mountain Snowmen.
I will return to help you reclaim your position. "
With that, Li Mo turned to the ninth elder of the snowman race.
"How should I address you, ninth elder?"
"Yuan Tao."
Yuan Tao nodded, looking solemnly at Li Mo.
Yuan Tao was still poisoned by the Demonic Frenzy Pill when he fought Li Mo.
But after the antidote, his memories were still there.
So Yuan Tao knew it was Li Mo's doing.
Sensing Li Mo's aura, Yuan Tao knew Li Mo was only in his twenties.
In this world where only the strong were respected, Li Mo won Yuan Tao's respect for having such a fighting spirit in his twenties.
"Elder Yuan Tao, do you remember what happened before you were poisoned by the Demonic Frenzy Pill?
Do you know who poisoned you? "
Li Mo asked politely.
He thought Yuan Tao was in the early Sky Immortal stage.
He should know more than the 27 leaders of the Heavenly Mountain Snowmen in the mid Earth immortal stage.
But Yuan Tao left Li Mo disappointed.
Yuan Tao shook his head and said,
"My memories are scattered, to be honest.
Now, I don't even know how the other elders of the Tianshan Yeti Tribe are doing, and whether they are in the same situation as me. "
Thank you for your support!
